Hi Ganesh, 
Had the same problems after putting our's in as well.  Two ways around
it that I know of.  The way that we patched the problem was to connect
them through Windows Terminal services.  The connection is actually a
Windows Session instead of a Meditech Session.  The problem that we
found was that the Cisco AP's negotiate occasionally between points.
When they do there is a lapse in connectivity.  It's not a lot, but it's
enough to cause a Meditech session to drop.  So this does take care of
the problem.  But this does create another problem in the fact that you
can't tell exactly where the user is coming from.  Of course, you can
still audit users and tell who's in the system, but not from which
wireless laptop it's coming from.

The other solution that I've tested but not implemented is Meru
Wireless.  We put these AP's in our facility for a test run and they
worked flawlessly.  When we pulled them out after our demo period was
up, nurses were not happy.  We still haven't gotten them in here yet,
but I'm hopeful to do so.  I would suggest looking into these Meru
Access Points.  When I did an inquiry about it not long ago on the L,
there were many Meditech hospitals doing the same thing.

i've been asked to post this by our operations group for suggestions:

We are having problems with users losing their signal and being knocked
out of Meditech while doing assessments.   We have carts with Fuijitsu
4120 tablets and Cisco Aironet antennas.  The user typically hangs in
the middle of an assessment, but not consistently in the same place on
the screen or the same physical location of the cart.  The Meditech
session is disconnected, but there is generally no problem connecting to
Meditech immediately afterwards.   We have checked to make sure the
access points are in the correct place and they seem to be.

thanks, ganesh seshadri, indiana regional.
